Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 375ºF. Beat butter, sugars and vanilla in a large bowl with electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in eggs, baking soda and salt until blended. On low speed, beat in flour just until blended.

2. Stir in oats, 1 cup of the flaked coconut, all of the chocolate chunks and chopped pecans. Using 2 Tbsp dough for each cookie, drop mounds 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Sprinkle tops with the rest of the coconut.

3. Bake 11 to 13 minutes until golden on bottoms and around edges. Cool on baking sheet 2 minutes before removing to wire rack to cool completely.
